Hello,
Your friend guessed it right there is significant interaction between Lexapro and Celebrex. Each enhance the effect of the other. So Use Caution/Monitor closely. Increased risk of upper GI bleeding. It's better for her to go for any other alternative drug to Celebrex. As she had taken it previously with side effects, it's better not to take Celebrex. You can discuss the same with your prescribing physician.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
